Speedtest.net: Test Your Internet Connection

I squeeze every single megabit out of my ISP. My philosophy is that if I'm going to pay a lot of money every month for broadband, I should get what I'm paying for. With test servers everywhere from the Dominican Republic to Uzbekhistan, Speedtest.net lets me make sure that my local cable company is giving me all the speed I need.

Speedtest.net, which has performed over 120 million speed tests since it was unveiled last year, provides an easy-to-understand graphic interface that gives you instant results while your test is running. When the test is complete, you see your average ping to the test server and your average upload and download speeds. You can also share your results with the world and compare your results against those of other people in your region. You can even explore the average bandwidth scores of people and countries around the world.

The site automatically determines the server closes to your location to begin the test, and you choose the target server to test your connection speed with. There are plenty of servers to choose from. Most are in cities in North America and Europe--Washington DC, New York, Paris, Zagreb--but if you want a good test of how hardy your internet connection is, try testing your connection against the server in Lahore, Pakistan, or Bamako, Mali.
